No - I wanted him to bring back Inception! I saw it live at TEB and even though it wasn't perfect, the music would be perfect for the Olympics!

That's part of why I feel bitter - he never did skate it perfectly. I'd loved to have seen that only once, at least. Also, I honestly thought this could have been his Masterpiece - I really did. And also, not only am I a fan of Brian's, but I also love the music, and to me, it was a match made in Heaven. The thing about that music is that it demands a skater who has Personality, and can give it the proper - almost mesmerising - Intensity. (Skating around Looking Soulful just won't cut it.) There are only a few skaters who can do that - and of the ones that pop into my head immediately, I don't see them doing Inception. (Plushy, Daisuke, Jason.) Ah, well... it was a beautiful dream... (At TEB the greatest problem of all was that he couldn't give it the requisite energy - what with his recent illness and all. In that regard, I think his French Masters performance probably was better.)

I think it's maybe more that the Gladiator persona comes more easily to him - I think he has to extend himself more emotionally for Inception. But, yeah, I'm absolutely convinced he could have done it, and that's part of my great disappointment. So... yes... Sigh.

She's skating great (!) but I don't think the music suits her style :(

Thanks for sharing! She looks fierce I do actually think the music does/could suit her, but I feel there are a few too many musical cuts- almost like she wanted a few bars of everysinglesong in the show. She looks great though, can't wait to see it 'fully' preformed in costume
